On our preparation day we visited the Glamis Castle. Glamis Castle, home of the Earls of Strathmore and Kinghorne, was the childhood home of HM Queen Elizabeth "The Queen Mother and birthplace of HRH The Princess Margaret. It was granted to Sir John Lyon in 1372. He married the daughter of King Robert II, and the castle has been visited by many members of the Scottish and British Royal families since then. The castle is the residence of Michael, 18th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne.

This is the remains of the "Red Castle"of Lunan. On the coast of Angus Scotland. It was built by King WilliamI ("the Lion") in the late twelfth century to repel Viking invasions to Lunan Bay. It was very foggy the day we were there. The walls on this fortress are 4 feet thick. It appears that they built two walls then filled in between with small rocks and dirt.
WW1 Queen visits wounded troops

Arbroath, Scotland. This Mansion during WW1 was used for the wounded. The Queen visited them there. After the war it was given to the Church and used as an orphanage for children of missionaries while they were on their missions. Not sure what church. It has been empty for many years. It first belonged to a jute baron and his family.
